Tesrol lodgement considered

Gosford Council officers have recommended approval for Tesrol to lodge a development application for a nine-storey development in Ettalong.

The approval is required because the development will encroach on a council-owned laneway off Memorial Ave.

Council considered this item at its meeting held on May 24, and resolved that to defer the item for inspection on June 14.

The lodgement approval will now be considered on Tuesday night, June 28.

At the council meeting following a site inspection on June 14, council again resolved to defer the matter to a strategy and policy workshop to be held on June 21 to allow further information to be provided to councillors.

The developer plans to redevelop land fronting Memorial Ave, Ettalong Beach, on the location of the temporary Ettalong Beach Club car park.

If the development is approved, it will be necessary for the developer to make arrangements for Council to close the road and then offer to purchase it from Council.

The development, if approved, includes building under and above the existing lane, which must be closed before the development could progress.
